West Ham United's directors were nowhere to be seen at last night's defeat to Manchester City.
The Sun says joint chairman David Sullivan had questioned the commitment of the players nearing the end of their contracts last week.
But he was conspicuous by his absence at Eastlands - along with David Gold, vice chairman Karren Brady and honorary vice president Terry Brown.
West Ham refused to comment on the amazing no-show last night but Manchester City sources confirmed they were expecting the Hammers to be represented in the boardroom.
